Concert Information

The first performance of Debussy's Pr茅lude 脿 l'apr猫s-midi d'un faune in Paris on 22 December 1894 sparked a musical revolution. In Images, written a decade later, Debussy captured the sights, sounds and smells of three places in Europe, taking in the Tyneside folk tune, 'The Keel Row', two popular French songs and the exoticism of Spain.
大象传媒 broadcaster Stephen Johnson is our guide in this absorbing exploration of Debussy's sound world, illustrated with live orchestral excerpts before a complete performance of both works.
